Paris Whites

Do you want to be too gorgeous for words in Paris? Or trop belle as they say?

Then get out your whites. It doesn't have to be white head-to-toe. Just a touch of white will do very nicely. White shirt tails hanging out is IN. Do you have a white doudou? Bon! You're in.When you see blanche dans la rue, not just in the windows/vitrine, you know you better do something and do it fast.J'adoreGalerie Lafayette's posters, but I haven't a clue what this one signifies. *Note the white shorts though. More white shorts embroidered in this case. Is this Frenchie going a little de trop with the whites..?A white velo in Galeries Lafayette Home.

I met up with journalist/blogger Amy of God, I love Paris and neither one of us was wearing a stitch of blanc, but it was non-stop giggles all the same. Not wearing white doesn't have to be a complete disastre. Amy writes about Paris sweets too so you'll want to stop by. Here's a semi-white dessert I gobbled up first day back in Paris. Don't ask me what this was or what was inside. A touch of framboise?I haven't a clue except to tell you it was very miam-miam

I LOVE wearing white, and this year I've been searching for a white skirt, but a specific type and I'm have a heck of a time finding it, but I LOVE all the different white Pants, shorts, dresses...etc, so very beachy and yet classy. I adore that picture you have with the woman in white from head to toe, standing on the corner to cross the street.Fun,MCB

Amy, the best thing to do is to wait until you get here and then buy the requisite color scarf of shirt tail etc.They are wearing a ton of mariniere stripe shirts like it was obligatory. One thing for sure when a trend hits big here you find it at all price levels.Still you don't have to dress exactly the way they do either.It's like buying gorgeous saris in India-do you wear them when you get home? Probably not...

Hi Rosemary from PA!!!Thanks!

K and S, the big brands tend to do the same windows around the world! Not too creative if you ask me, but no one is asking...

Have you been to the Marche aux Puces in Paris – the guidebooks state that it is open Saturday, Sunday and Monday. I’m thinking that Monday may be the least crowded day, but don’t want to miss out on any of the vendors if some of them are only open Saturday and Sunday.Appreciate any recommendations you may have.
